SUBARU XV 2019 - UPDATED JAPANESE CROSSOVER

Subaru Company has always had a special attitude on the market.  As the brand's leaders, they try to produce only fully completed, comprehensively thought out and tested cars. In addition, the company's engineers always strive to use the latest developments. Therefore, adherents of each new model of the brand expect something special. The new Subaru XV 2019 was no exception. 

Safety remains the top priority of the Japanese manufacturer. All versions of the SUV now come with an impressive package that ensures the safety of not only the driver, but also passengers. Evaluating the Subaru XB 2019, it becomes obvious that the new model is distinguished by technical improvements. For the 2019 version, innovative security technology has become the new standard on Crosstrek Limited. 

All innovations are tested in numerous crash tests by Federal and independent experts. The maximum equipped Crosstrek even received a Top Safety Pick rating.

Exterior

Initially, the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is designed not only for transporting passengers, but also for transporting large cargo. The roof can comfortably accommodate a Bicycle, kayak, canoe, ski, snowboard, tent and other equipment. The only advice from the manufacturer is to install additional cross rails in addition to permanently installed longitudinal rails.

Unpainted fenders, bright colors and stylish wheels with a diameter of 17 and 18 inches, help the Subaru XV 2019 look attractive at home on the track. Keeping the same exterior lines, the second generation Subaru XV was transformed from the inside. Japanese designers believe that the overall image of the model is so successful that it would be right to keep it as long as possible.

And, perhaps, they are right — the first XV turned out to be memorable. The elongated hood, massive grille that protects the radiator, sharp lines of the body - all these are the hallmarks of the Subaru XV, the 2019 model looks almost unchanged. Subaru Crosstrek 2019 is 15 mm longer and 20 mm wider. At the same time, the wheelbase increased by 30 mm, but the 220 mm ground clearance left the cross-country traffic at about the same level as its predecessor. The additional dimensions further visually increased the size of the crossover, drawing attention to it on the roads.

Interior

The 2019 Crosstrek's base trim comes with solid fabric seats, while the premium SUV's trim features contrasting stitching. Crosstrek Limited comes with a black or two-tone leather interior with black stitching. The plastic on the dashboard looks rich and stylish.

The interior of the 2019 Subaru Crosstrek is comfortable, but not refined. The Subaru XV 2019 crossover is a great family car, and the roof rack, which is standard  for the 2019 Crosstrek, allows you to go on long trips.

The Crosstrek front seats are comfortable and height-adjustable, but users note that they lack an adjustable lumbar support, at least for the driver. Its absence is especially felt at long distances. Passengers have enough legroom in the back rows, and five adults can comfortably sit in the passenger compartment. A folding row of rear seats adds 23 to 50 cubic feet of cargo space. At a base cost, the user will get a car with a textile interior. Crosstrek Limited is already equipped with leather seats and contrasting stitching. 

Technical parameters

Basic security options:

• automatic emergency braking,
• lane departure warnings,
• active lane monitoring,
• automatic driving lights
• adaptive cruise control.

All 2019 versions of the Crosstrek are equipped with a 2.0-liter engine with 152 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. It's not much to quickly move a car that is heavy. In the basic configuration, the car weighs almost a ton and a half, which is more than some competitors, because the Crosstrek comes with all-wheel drive as standard.

The Darty throttle adjustment helps Crosstreks with CVT feel more confident in urban environments than when driving on the highway, and the transmission is tuned to deliver a "step-up" feel.

The Crosstrek features sharp, precise steering and soft suspension. When driving on the highway, this smallest of Subaru crossovers is characterized by minimal fuel consumption.

Innovations

First of all, the car is based on the Subaru Global Platform concept chassis — the same for the entire upcoming 2019 model range. The main focus of the manufacturer is on the comfort of operation. Macfersson technology is used in the front on the lever suspension and on the subframe at the back. The new platform radically changed the driving character of the car. The vibration and trembling of the wheels that users of previous models complained about disappeared, the pitching decreased accordingly, and the stability of the Subaru Crosstrek 2019 on the road increased.

The 8.7 inches of ground clearance means that the Crosstrek has more ability to handle obstacles on bad roads than other compact crossovers. CVT models have an X-Mode button that triggers hill descent control and activates special traction control parameters when driving becomes particularly hard.
